I'd like to meet:

We would like to meet the New Faces of Comedy!

By that we mean the up and coming comics of South Florida. So if you've been on stage or thinking about getting on stage, be sure to add us and sign-up for our open mic nights.

To sign-up for our open mic call our Palm Beach Improv box office on Mondays from 10am-4pm and schedule a date. We schedule dates for Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and Palm Beach Open Mics. Once you have a date you're responsible for picking up complimentary open mic tickets at the box office of the Improv that you are performing at. These tickets will be used to determine how many people you bring to the show. The minimum to perform is 10 people, in return you get 5 minutes of stage time. If you bring less than 10 people you may have your time limited to 3 minutes or be cut from the performers list.

Open Mic is a fun night, local comics polishing up their material and working on their acts always makes for good entertainment. It is amateur night, but we expect all comedians to be professional, courteous and on time. Also, we ask that comics keep their material as clean as possible, have respect for the equipment and above all have fun.

We hope to see you on stage soon.
